Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of tonight's Carabao Cup semi-final showdown between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
Less than two months after the two London rivals last locked horns, the Blues and the Gunners go head-to-head again in the first-leg of the semi-final, with the second-leg at the Emirates Stadium at the beginning of February. Back on November 30, it was a thrilling encounter between the two sides with Chelsea, then managed by Enzo Maresca, going down to 10 men in the first-half at Stamford Bridge.
Moises Caicedo was shown a straight red card on 38 minutes for a late tackle than connected with the shin of Mikel Merino. But it was Chelsea who took the lead shortly into the second-half when Trevoh Chalobah headed past David Raya, but Merino was on hand to secure a point for Arsenal in west London.
Tonight's latest edition of the rivalry promises to be equally as thrilling. Our Chelsea correspondent Bobby Vincent and Arsenal reporter Tom Canton are live at Stamford Bridge to bring you updates and analysis throughout the evening.
